Bath re-enamelling in Badlesmere

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Badlesmere. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

About our bath re-enamelling in Badlesmere

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Badlesmere

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Questions from Badlesmere

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Badlesmere included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you come to Badlesmere?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Badlesmere from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When to call us in Badlesmere

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
